[SECC] GQP changes

[Michael Condon]

Hi,
  Thanks to Matt and John, and others on the comments on "3 Minimum" entries.
  Several have pointed out that this change would penalize an entrant for the activities or lack therof of "others".   
   
  Matt suggested possibly making it a certificate award only, but others note that this infringes on the folks who sponsor plaques in limiting their effort at recognition.
   
  And, who amoung us has not taken a shot at an award where participation is low, or a class that has been ignored, in an effort to pick off an easy one.
   
  The other notes are mostly in the vein above.
  For all the above, I suggest we make no change here, and remove the issue from the table.  
   
  Thanks, Mike, NE4S

I agree having 3 entries minimum for a plaque award.

I disagree requiring 3 entries for a certificate award.
